Guide to The Boomsday Project, Hearthstone's Latest Expansion

Hearthstone\u2019s latest expansion is The Boomsday Project! Over at Wowhead's sister site Hearthstone Top Decks we\u2019ve been covering a ton of different stuff to get you up to speed on the new expansion, launching August 7th, including deck guides. If you love Dr. Boom and Netherstorm in WoW, check this expansion out.\r\rIf you haven\u2019t been following along with the game, we\u2019re going into the second expansion of the Year of the Raven. The meta had a big change in the last expansion due to the Standard rotation, and this expansion is looking to continue to change things up.\r\rIf you want to get prepared for the launch, we have a Boomsday Project Survival Guide that lists all of the launch times and goes into a bit more detail!\r\rWhat\u2019s New?\rWith just about every new expansion comes a new keyword, and this one is no different! This time we\u2019re getting the Magnetic mechanic. Cards with this keyword can be attached to other mechs and will combine their stats and other keywords to the minion! This expansion has a ton of mechs, so I expect this will be very powerful in the weeks to come.\r\rLearn more about this mechanic with our Magnetic Keyword Guide!\r\rThere are also powerful Omega cards that can be played in the early game as vanilla minions, but once you reach 10 mana crystals have a powerful effect that you can utilize. Omega Medic will restore 10 health to your hero, while Omega Mind gives the spells you play Lifesteal for the turn!\r \r\r\rLegendary spells have also been added! Each class gets one powerful spell that can turn the tides of the game. Mage was given Luna\u2019s Pocket Galaxy that changes the cost of the minions in your deck to one! While Warlock got The Soularium which will draw you three cards for just 1-mana. However, you will discard them at the end of your turn, so be sure to use them!\r \r\r\rLast but not least, we have Projects. These cards give a bonus to you and your opponent. The strategy here is to utilize them when you will get the bonus and it could potentially hurt your enemy! The Druid class is getting Biology Project, it gains each player two mana crystals! Mage, on the other hand, got Research Project which draws each player 2 cards.\r\rTheorycraft Deck Guides\r\rWe\u2019ve started putting together a ton of potential decks that could be strong, playable, or will just be fun in The Boomsday Project. With every expansion, Blizzard tends to promote particular archetypes within each class. We\u2019ve looked to put together decks that make the most sense within that structure and have written guides around each one! These are great for trying out in the early meta, if you aren\u2019t much of a deck builder yourself.\r\rThese decks will be further refined and the guides will be updated as we learn more about each archetype!\r\rDruid\rMalygos Druid Deck Guide\rMecha\u2019thun Fatigue Druid Deck Guide\rTreant Druid Deck Guide\r\rHunter\rDeathrattle Mech Hunter Deck Guide\rBomb Hunter Deck Guide\r\rMage\rSpell Damage Tempo Mage Deck Guide\rHand Mage Deck Guide\r\rPaladin\rMech Paladin Deck Guide\r\rPriest\rClone Priest Deck Guide\rMidrange Deathrattle Priest Deck Guide\r\rRogue\rCube Deathrattle Rogue Deck Guide\rHopper Rogue Deck Guide\rMalygos Rogue Deck Guide\rThief Rogue Deck Guide\r\rShaman\rElemental Aggro Shaman Deck Guide\rMalygos Shaman Deck Guide\r\rWarlock\rDemon Zoo Warlock Deck Guide\rWild Magnetic Reno Combo Warlock Deck Guide\r\rWarrior\rBoomship Recruit Warrior Deck Guide\rMech Warrior Deck Guide\r\rWe\u2019ll be live covering all of the deck lists from pros & streamers once the expansion launches with our Boomsday Project Deck Lists post, and we\u2019ll be rotating all of the top performing lists to our Best Boomsday Project Decks roundup!\r\rPuzzle Lab\r\rIf you are more of a single-player Hearthstone fan, then you\u2019ll be looking forward to the new Puzzle Lab! Instead of the rogue-like Dungeon Run and Monster Hunt, you will be solving puzzles that require you to find lethals, mirror board states, clear boards of minions, and survive the enemies hero power! This will be a pretty big change of pace from the usual PVE content we\u2019ve been experiencing, so be sure to check that out when it comes out on August 21st (two weeks after the launch of the expansion).\r\rLearn more about this mode with our Puzzle Lab Guide!\r\rConclusion\r\rThat\u2019s all from us at Hearthstone Top Decks! Thanks for reading, and we hope to see you in the game!

Why post this on a wow site?\r\rBecause the expansion is themed after a WoW place (Area 52) featuring WoW characters (Dr. Boom). Same reason every other Blizzard site will make a note about the expansion.

Same reason every other Blizzard site will make a note about the expansion.\r\rNot to mention it pulls exclusively from the Warcraft universe. I'd expect RTS news here as well.

I'd expect RTS news here as well.\r\rWe are trying to work more of this coverage in, we did some coverage back in February like https:\/\/www.wowhead.com\/news=281944\/many-warcraft-3-players-invited-to-offline-event-announcement-soon and people really liked it.\r\rThere should also be a Whitemane announcement\/giveaway today as she's a WoW character coming to HOTS.
